Abstract

Delphi technique has been largely used in researches, as much via its traditional form, focused on estimations, as via its ranking-type. However, despite being a technique established for over 60 years, there are not in the academic literature, until now, properly structured and complete schemes or scripts that can be used to apply the Delphi technique in its ranking-type. In order to fill this gap, a new script is presented in this paper – the Method for Achieving Rankings Using the Delphi Technique (MARD, in its abbreviated form). In addition, it is depicted a study in which MARD was applied. Due to be derived from scripts already tested, MARD takes into account several aspects that the authors of those scripts believe to be relevant, and also presents, in a more detailed way, the steps to be performed along all stages required to carry out a Delphi panel in its ranking-type. MARD showed to be complete and robust, by providing adequate methodological support for the Delphi panel presented as an example, and by revealing potential to be generalized and therefore applied to other sorts of Delphi panels in its ranking-type.
